Prince William was whisked through the South Island city in a police motorcade, helicopters circling overhead, after touching down on Thursday afternoon, accompanied by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern as he got off his plane. The Prince's first port of call was at the city's Justice and Emergency Services Precinct, which acted as a base of operations for much of the emergency work after the terror attack. There he was greeted by New Zealand's top cop, Police Commissioner Mike Bush, and met with officers and ambulance staff who were at the scene of the attacks that killed 50 people.
